This is a fantastic property in a quiet residential area, but super close to the most popular attractions in Venice. The unit is more beautiful than the pictures represent and is perfectly maintained. It is clear that this is a private residence vs a full time rental unit. It was exactly as advertised and offered plenty of room for our family of eight.

Jane was extremely helpful during the booking process and was waiting to greet us at the water gate upon our arrival, despite the fact that our flight was late. She provided a small care package of breakfast foods and snacks that were much appreciated!

Unfortunately, one of our daughters became severely ill on the first night of our stay and spent a night in a Venice hospital (which was only about 2 blocks from the Palazzo). Jane offered us assistance, checked on us and offered to let us stay an extra night if needed - all while she was on her own holiday out of town. Fortunately, our daughter felt well enough to depart on schedule, but Jane's generosity and concern was much appreciated.

Back to the apartment - it was spacious, the bedrooms comfortable and the AC units worked perfectly on a very hot weekend in Venice. The bathrooms and kitchen were all equipped with modern, top of the line fixtures. The decor included multiple Murano glass chandeliers and beautiful artwork. We felt like royalty in our private oasis.

As other reviewers noted, there are stairs to climb to get to the unit, but that is Venice. It was a minor inconvenience to carry our bags in and out, but that was a one-time event. The stairs were not an issue coming and going without luggage.

Thanks Jane, we cannot wait to come back!
